“And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest” (Hebrews 8:11).
Scripture says every child of God shall know the Lord. That is not just mere imagination. It means you have the understanding and knowledge of Him, the way you have knowledge of your mother tongue.
Think about this situation. You may be able to identify the Spanish language when you hear it, but it does not mean you know Spanish. You may identify the English language when you hear it, but unless you can speak it, you do not truly have knowledge of it.
When God says “They shall all know me,” it means they shall receive the Spirit of His language. In other words, they will understand His language. Where is that language? God has written it in the Bible.
Jesus says, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).
In response, “The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” (John 6:52). Do you see the problem? The problem is that they do not understand what the Lord was saying.
They have not received the understanding of the Scriptures. If they had received the knowledge of the Word of God, they would have understood that Jesus was talking of the Bible, which is Christ, the Word and the Bread of God (see John 6:51-63).
God wants us to know and eat the truth of the Bible. The Word of God is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and He is food indeed. As Jesus said, “It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4).
PRAYER
Dear Lord, I thank you for giving us the Spirit of the Bible, to open the eyes of our understanding in the knowledge of the only true God, and Jesus Christ your Word. Amen!
